What astronomical objects can you see well with the Celestron NexStar 6SE Computerized Telescope?

It is a 6-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector telescope and you would be able to see stars down to about 10th magnitude. It would also show an appreciable disc with belts on Jupiter, also Saturn's rings, and it would give a good view of the Orion Nebula, for example.


Which planet is easiest to spot using a telescope?

The Earth is definitely the #1 easiest. Next in line would be Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mercury. Each of those is visible without a telescope, so you'd know exactly where to point your telescope by seeing the planet with your eye first. The brightest planet that you do need a telescope to see is Uranus. So you definitely won't miss it when you're pointed at it, but you need to know where to point.

How do you build a telescope with waste materials?

Easiest to do would be a RADIO telescope. Get lots of chicken wire or fine mesh wire, If you have an old 6-foot satellite dish , the kind most people call "BUDs", Big Ugly Dish, then you can use this for the basic form. It would be at least theoretically possible to gather lots of clear glass bottles, and if you're a glass blower, it might be possible to make your own lens, or optical mirror. Telescope construction is a pretty well developed art, and there are lots of books on how to build your own telescope.


A Newtonian reflector needs no secondary mirrors?

It is not essential to have a secondary mirror on a Newtonian telescope, but the reason there is one is for practicality. If you mounted an eyepiece at the focus of the primary mirror, your head would be directly in the light path, blocking much of the light from entering the tube. The same reason applies to cameras, but with modern CCD cameras being circular and small, it is possible to mount one at the focus of the primary mirror. Indeed, doing this may block less light than a secondary mirror would, certainly in the case of a large aperture instrument (for example 300mm and above.)

Is a radio telescope good?

Yes. It is wonderful. Almost unbelievably so. Speaking as an amateur radio operator, I would love to have a cryogenic receiver and a 200-ft parabolic reflector in my back yard. Their natural beauty cannot be ignored.


Is leaf a reflector of light?

i think it is a reflector of light as we are able to see a leaf in the presence of light, it means when light bounces back into our eye, we can see it otherwise we would not be able to see it. however it is not a good reflector of light, but a poor reflector of light.


How would you construct an acoustical Michelson interferometer to measure sound wavelengths?

The Michelson device operates on Light waves. It is not a sound apparatus. One cannot use a telescope to analyze sounds, right?


What are some types of telescopes?

there are two main types, all though there are five in total. the first one is called a refractor telescope, which uses a lense to bend the light into an eyepiece. these tend to fog up in winter time but give accurite pictures. a reflector telescope uses two mirors to reflect the light into the eyepiece. you can make these as big as you want and they dont fog up, but the immage can be distorted if the mirror angle is off by the slightest degree. of the two, i would say that the reflector is better than the refractor.there is a limmit to the size of the refractor.


What would be a good antonym for the word projector?

Why would a photographer use a black reflector in their photography setup?

A photographer would use a black reflector in their photography setup to absorb light and create shadows, adding depth and contrast to the subject.


How do you monitor solar storms?

The easiest way is to visit the website for spaceweather.com. If you have a telescope with a solar filter, you can watch the Sun yourself, but you can't see the Sun all the time, and it would generally be boring.
